I'm not going to wrap my car in a screen protector, I'm not parking at the end of a parking lot just to stay away from other cars.. If its a daily driver then I understand shit happens.. It's the people that wrap the seats in towels, the paint in screen protectors and stuff that just baffle me.. I have a good friend that does the towels over the seats.. He says to protect them... Then why buy the top of the line interior if you don't enjoy it.. I don't understand it.. I like my car being as nice as possible.. To each their own.. I can understand the guys frustration.. I had my car 3 weeks and the whole right rear quarter panel got smashed.. I pushed it out.. My car isn't a beater.. But I don't stress over it.. I was pissed at the time.. Now idgaf.. May e that's why I feel like that over the whole car.. I wash it maintain it and keep it clean.. But if you don't want scratches and dents and stuff.. Then keep it in the garage till your ready to head out the the local Starbucks and be a parking lot pimp
I think some people are just more concerned with aesthetic then others. I think you are referring to a clear bra when you say screen protector. IMO isn't a bad investment. It keeps your car protected for minor damages for X amount of years. For those who pay more attention to aesthetics $500 isn't bad to keep your car that you like look new for so long, and they are nearly invisible. I understand where you're coming from though. My parents do the same thing with their furniture, and it drives me insane. We have a super nice dinning table that was purchased about 15 years ago, and from day one it has been covered with a table sheet and plastic covering. What was the point of buying a nice dinning table if no one can see it!? as for covering seat goes. I'd cover my alcantara seats if im sitting in them after i go swimming or if im really sweaty.
